At YMM Collaborative Practice, we are proud to support community programs that are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
Hoop Heroes Inclusive Basketball Association provides an inclusive, supportive space where children ages 5-18 of all abilities can experience the joy of basketball, build skills, and develop confidence.
Their commitment to creating a safe, fun, and positive environment aligns closely with our commitment to supporting mental health and wellness in our community. Programs like this not only foster physical activity, but also promote social development, self-esteem, and emotional well-being.

Thank you, Frank, for taking the time to meet with us today and let us watch a practice! We are grateful to play a small role in supporting this initiative.

Each year YMM Collaborative Practice makes an effort to provide donations and sponsorships to a number of initiatives that align with our vision and values, and that give back to the Wood Buffalo Region. Some of these great causes include, Girls Inc., Wood Buffalo Minor Hockey and Ringette Teams, Walk for CF, Pride YMM and Fore the Ladies Classic.

This year we are excited to sponsor the Fort McMurray Women’s Hockey League and help make the fees more accessible for players.

Holidays can be tough. If you find yourself needing a little extra support during this time, consider Single Session Therapy. Single Session Therapy is a focused, time-limited approach to mental health support designed to address a specific issue or concern in one session. It emphasizes practical solutions, emotional support, and the use of existing strengths to help the client move forward. It’s ideal for people who need quick relief, want to resolve a particular problem, or prefer a more flexible approach to therapy.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

YMM Collaborative Practice acknowledges that we live, work and play on Treaty 8 Territory, the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands and home of many Indigenous peoples, including the Cree, Dene, Inuit and Métis who have cared for, lived, traveled, and gathered on these lands for many generations. It is with gratitude that we make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

We are committed to addressing Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action by integrating Indigenous ways of knowing, continuing to work towards conscious awareness and cultural safety by addressing biases and blindspots and holding humility, collaboration, respect, and social justice at the forefront.

Ever heard of the 5:1 magic ratio?

Dr. John Gottman studied relationships and found some key factors in what he determined “made love last”. One of the research findings focused on the imbalance of negative to positive interactions. The research proposes a magic ratio of 5 positive interactions to every 1 negative interaction to be what makes love last.

Conflict in a relationship is inevitable. Negative interactions will happen! The power is in recognizing this and moving towards repair, engaging in ways that promote connection, closeness, positivity and enhances the relationship…or as Gottman also puts it- building the emotional bank account. Intentional and focused positive interactions are like making deposits into the bank account, helping to keep you and the relationship in the “green”. Positive interactions are not just the big things, like planning a date night, but more of the everyday moments like, acknowledging your partner’s perspective, appreciating their effort, sharing gratitude, validating their experience. Think about it this way, purposeful and intentional ways to highlight the good, and building the reserves that help you both/all feel seen, heard, and connected, even in challenging times. 

Does 5 positive interactions sound like a lot? Let’s break it down:
• Parting for the day: an intentionally slower hug or kiss, a little note or sharing an encouraging thought or message.
• Recognizing a small action of the other where you felt loved, appreciated, connected.
• During the day: a check in possibly during a break and then again before coming home.
• Reuniting: another point of connection!
• Sharing a laugh or being playful.

***Spoiler alert, the magic ratio is important for our relationship with our children, colleagues, and well..any interpersonal relationship.***
